Oh, I wish I could fix the world's problems! I'm sad for you and for my mother today(the doctor told her that she has the shingles virus).

Oh MCD hope your Mom feels better soon. I have never had shingles, but my 19 year old daughter had it when she was 4 - believe it or not!!! Very rare to have it that young, but she had chicken pox at 3 months old - a very mild case! Anyway, I know it can be extremely painful. Wishing her the best!

Thank you. She just returned home from the hospital after having congestive heart failure and now this.

Your poor daughter! Can people get shingles more than once? I hope not.

I've heard that you can get it more than once - but it occurs along a different nerve. They say extreme stress can be a cause - which would account for your mother's case. But a 4 year old has no stress!
